Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia might be finally ready to bring to shelves the latest Symbian^3 smartphone it unveiled in September last year, the Nokia E7, a business-oriented device that got delayed a little. Originally set to land on the market before the end of 2010, the mobile phone was pushed back for the first quarter of the ongoing year, with no exact release date set officially for the time being.

However, the handset can be seen now as available for back order on the UK market via Play.com (via TheNokiaNetwork), where it has a February 1st, 2011 shipping date attached to it.

The phone sports a price tag of £489.99 free of contract and unlocked, the retailer notes. Moreover, it lists the Nokia E7 with free delivery.

As stated above, the Nokia E7 is the company's latest business-class device, rocking the new Symbian^3 OS, and a nice range of features that are already present in Nokia N8.

The specifications list of this device includes an ARM 11 680 MHz Processor, which is complemented by 256 MB of RAM and 1 GB ROM.

The mobile phone also includes 16GB of internal memory, along with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording capabilities.

The handset's 4-inch touchscreen display is complemented by a sliding QWERTY keyboard, both packed in a device that measures 123.7 x 62.4 x 13.6 mm and weighs in at 176 grams.

Connectivity options like Bluetooth v3.0, HSDPA, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, GPRS/EDGE class B, HDMI port, micro USB connector or 3.5 headphone jack were included into the mix as well.

The Nokia E7 also comes with great multimedia capabilities, including HD 720p Video playback on HD TV through HDMI cable, as well as with impressive Internet browsing features, and GPS navigation capabilities.

Those UK enthusiasts who would like to purchase the new Nokia E7 via Play.com should head over to the retailer's website here to pre-order a unit or to learn more on the matter.
